A brewing dispute between two of Nigeria's biggest music acts spilled into public view this week, as Wande Coal pushed back against claims made by Davido about their shelved collaboration, "Come My Way." In a recent interview with Uncut, Davido explained why the joint record never saw the light of day, but Wande Coal challenged that account in a post on X on Tuesday, August 18, defending his original release plan.
Davido's Account of the Collaboration
In the interview, Davido said Wande Coal reached out asking him to feature on the song, and he delivered a verse he described as exceptional. The problem, he explained, was a disagreement over how the release would be structured.
"He hit me up at the time to do the song. He hadn't released it so I recorded that verse and that verse is stupid hard. I think he wanted to drop it first then drop my own as a remix and I was like no oh, I didn't record it as a remix. It would have been nice sha," Davido said.
Wande Coal Hits Back on X
The explanation did not sit well with Wande Coal. On Tuesday, August 18, the singer took to X to challenge Davido's version of events, rejecting the suggestion that his release strategy was the source of the problem.
Wande Coal said: "Carry song come give you as how? Song wey been get release plan and date!!! Song wey no be your own you wan dictate release plan That song did well without you on it bruv!!!"
The singer pointed out that the track performed well regardless, suggesting that Davido's contribution was not as crucial as the interview may have implied.
